Complete chloroplast genome of <i>Paris polyphylla</i> Smith var. <i>stenophylla</i> Franch.:genomic features and phylogenetic analysis

Paris polyphylla Smith var. stenophylla Franch. (1888) is recognized in the medicinal standards of Gansu and Zhejiang provinces. We report its complete chloroplast genome, which is 164,767 bp long and has a typical quadripartite structure including an LSC region of 84,296 bp, an SSC region of 12,955 bp, and two IRs of 33,758 bp each. The genome contained 134 genes, including 113 unique genes.. Phylogenetic analysisplaced itas a sister to P. caojianensis and.close to P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. These findings provide genomic resources for future studies of this medicinal herb.
